Chapter 21: Eating Gossip at the Entrance of Da Jiang Cun

Because he slept late last night, Jiang Jinshi, who was sleeping by the door, didn't wake up until the sun shone on his eyes.

Standing up on tiptoe, he was afraid of waking Li Xinyue, who was still sleeping sweetly.

Coming to the next room, Jiang Li, who didn't know when she had gotten up, had already made breakfast.

Jiang Li tilted her head and looked behind Jiang Jinshi, her expression a bit puzzled.

"Where is sister-in-law?"

Jiang Jinshi stretched, put down his hands, and rubbed Jiang Li's head.

"Perhaps she was tired yesterday, she's still sleeping!"

Jiang Li struggled to escape from the "devil's" palm, pouting and a bit unhappy.

She didn't know why, but her eldest brother had been fond of rubbing her head these past two days, always making her hair messy.

Mother Liu smiled from ear to ear when she heard this and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! She must be tired. Xiao Lizi, leave a portion of breakfast for your sister-in-law, and let her eat when she wakes up."

Looking at his mother's smile, Jiang Jinshi always felt that it wasn't the same thing as the "tired" he was talking about.

What he said was that he saw her coming down from the mountain yesterday, and climbing the mountain was a physical job, so it was normal to sleep more.

Jiang Li nodded as if it were true.

Her sister-in-law was treated like livestock by her eldest uncle's family before and had to get up before dawn. Now she needed to catch up on sleep.

The smile on Mother Liu's face never stopped. She had really done the right thing this time.

She had always been worried that Jiang Jinshi was still thinking about that Widow Wang, but after today, she probably didn't need to worry.

After all, having eaten tender corn, who could swallow old peas?!

The three people in the room all thought the others were thinking the same thing, so they tacitly skipped this topic.

So when Li Xinyue got up for breakfast, she saw three different faces.

Mother Liu had a loving smile on her face, telling Li Xinyue to eat more.

Jiang Li looked distressed, even fighting to help wash her face, completely turning into a little follower.

Jiang Jinshi was absent-minded, looking towards the outside of the room frequently.

Eh! Did something happen that she didn't know about?

After waiting for a long time without any news, Jiang Jinshi picked up the bucket and planned to go to the river to see the situation.

Li Xinyue hurriedly followed, afraid that Jiang Jinshi wouldn't take her to the city.

Jiang Jinshi didn't think much of it, just thinking that Li Xinyue wanted to help.

After all, she had lived like this before, constantly working in exchange for a bite to eat.

If he didn't let her help, it might hurt her self-esteem.

So the two of them left the house together, keeping a distance of less than three steps.

Of course, this scene was seen as a sign of affection between the young couple in Mother Liu's eyes.

It was only the first day of marriage!

The two were already sticking together like glue.

Thinking back to when she was with the child's father...

Jiang Li looked at her mother, who had a reminiscent look, and then looked at her eldest brother and sister-in-law who had walked far away.

Sigh! Another boring day had begun.

There were no wild vegetables to pick, the crops in the fields had long since fallen, and she didn't dare to go up the mountain to pick firewood.

When Jiang Jinshi arrived at the river, the riverbank was already full of villagers washing clothes.

"Yo! Little Ten of the Jiang family, how does it feel to get married yesterday?"

"Hey, why didn't I notice these two were such a good match before?"

"Look at that girl Zhaodi, she's usually generous, but today she's hiding behind Little Ten like a little daughter-in-law."

"You're talking like that, they're married, so aren't they a little daughter-in-law?"

The two who had just arrived naturally attracted the teasing of the villagers, but Jiang Jinshi himself was thick-skinned. Not only was he not embarrassed at all, but he even responded to each one with a smile.

"Uncle, marriage is naturally a good thing. As for the feeling... I won't go into details."

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, while Li Xinyue, standing behind, felt a bit out of place.

Jiang Jinshi also grinned and laughed, but his eyes were turning around.

Finally!

The big loudspeaker of Da Jiang Cun!

Grandma Li! Appeared!

Before Jiang Jinshi could greet her, Grandma Li, who had hurried over, took the initiative to shout to everyone.

"Oh my! Do you know? A big thing happened this morning."

"What's wrong? What big thing could happen in our Da Jiang Cun?"

Grandma Li clapped her hands and didn't continue to sell the suspense.

"Just now, the whole family of Jiang Shizai almost died!!"

Jiang Shizai was the real name of Jiang Jinshi's cheap grandfather.

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed, and some even focused their eyes on Jiang Jinshi.

Then they suddenly remembered that Jiang Jinshi had already separated from them, so they thought what she said shouldn't include Jiang Jinshi.

Grandma Li also just saw Jiang Jinshi and hurriedly waved at him.

"Little Ten, why don't you hurry up and go see! Your grandfather's family is suffering a lot now!"

Jiang Jinshi feigned concern and asked: "What exactly happened? Grandma Li, you should make it clear!"

He wouldn't go!

He just wanted to know how effective his laxative was.

As the saying goes, criminal suspects always like to return to the scene of the crime. He wouldn't commit this bad habit.

"That's right, Old Lady Li, make it clear, what happened?"

Grandma Li's desire to share was greatly satisfied at this moment. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she cleared her throat unhurriedly.

"I passed by Jiang Shizai's house this morning and saw several people lying in the courtyard. I hadn't had time to think about what was going on!

One person on the ground waved at me. You don't know! It scared me at the time."

Speaking of this, Grandma Li also patted her chest, looking like she was still frightened.

"Old Lady Li, speak faster, it's killing me."

Grandma Li rolled her eyes at the source of the sound.

"What's the rush? Isn't this what I'm about to say!

Then I walked closer and saw that it was Jiang Fu, Jiang Gui, and Jiang Gui's two sons lying on the ground."

"Are you talking about Jiang Wang and Jiang Shun?"

Hearing this, Grandma Li nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, yes! The one waving at me was Jiang Wang. I leaned over and immediately covered my nose and mouth.

You didn't see it! There was shit and urine everywhere, and the courtyard was full of the smell."

"Really? Who would shit and piss in the courtyard for no reason."

Grandma Li shrugged her nose and frowned, as if the smell was still around her.

"Why would I lie to you? You can still see the shit and urine all over the courtyard if you go now!"

The person who spoke scratched his head awkwardly: "What's good to see about shit and urine? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Grandma Li continued: "Although several people were covered in shit and urine, I have the spirit of mutual help in the village, so I still carefully observed the state of several people."

Of course, Jiang Jinshi didn't believe this. There was definitely no spirit of mutual help; eating gossip and watching the fun was the right thing to do.

"I saw that several people were pale, so I hurriedly went to find Huasheng."

Jiang Jinshi had some impression of this person named Huasheng in Grandma Li's mouth.

When Huasheng was young, he worked as a handyman in a pharmacy in the city. Although he didn't learn orthodox medical skills, he could still treat some minor ailments after being influenced by what he saw and heard every day.

Now he treats people in the village, equivalent to a village doctor, but unfortunately, he can't make any money and sometimes has to lose some money. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
